Election trial run this weekend

The Central Electoral Board (JCE) announced yesterday it will conduct a test run this weekend of the electoral computation systems for the 16 May elections. Judge Nelson Gomez, the president of the Administrative Chamber of the JCE, said that this test will prove that the informatics systems of the JCE are effective and safe from hackers. The test run, suggested by Santiago Murray of the Organization of American States, will be conducted on Saturday in the voting areas where 65% of the vote (Santiago, Santo Domingo, Bonao, La Vega, Puerto Plata, Moca, San Pedro, San Cristobal, and La Romana) are concentrated. On Sunday, the remaining 35% will be covered.
